Edge Rails: PATCH is the new primary HTTP method for updates Posted by fxn February 26, 2012 @ 01:54 AM What is PATCH? The HTTP method PUT means resource creation or replacement at some given URL. Think files, for example. If you upload a file to S3 at some URL, you want either to create the file at that URL or replace an existing file if there's one. That is PUT. Now let's say a web application has an Invoice model with a paid flag that indicates whether the invoice has been paid. How do you set that flag in a RESTful way? Submitting paid=1 via PUT to /invoices/:id does not conform to the semantics, because such request would not be sending a complete representation of the invoice for replacement . With the constraints of the methods GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, the traditional answer is to define the paid flag of a given invoice to be a resource by itself. So, you define a ro...

私見では、HTTP的には確かに正しいのだけども、どこまでを冪等とみなすか。実用上冪等とみなせるならPUTのほうがいいと思う。例えばアクセスカウンタがリソースに含まれる場合、厳密にはGETは不可ということになってしまう [link] (@tkawa)
